Can I use my cable company provided remote to change channels? Or would I use whatever comes with the device?

There is an IR repeater that will send your IR signal from your cable remote to the other unit. So you can use your cable remote.

Yes, you can use your IR cable remote. This unit has a wireless Infrared (IR) repeater. You can use your IR cable remote and it will transfer the commands to wherever the HD flow transmitter is located; which I assume is next to your cable box. You just have to attach the IR repeater LED to the proper place on the face of your cable box and you will be good to go.

You can use whatever remote you'd like. I have directv. I'm not using there remote. I have ir emitters on the boxes and an mx3000 set to rf. I've been using this hdflow for a while now and it hasn't blinked. I'm about to add 2 more

Yea you would use any remote that came with the cable box or if you have say an Apple TV you use the Apple TV controller this unit is great

This simply mirrors audio/video from the transmiier to receivers. You probably want something else.

You will use the remote that comes with it. The commands are simple. you can only turn the device on and off and change the channels...AV; Computer; HDMI etc. However you can control other peerless towers by use of the supplied remote. Such as shutting down or changing channels. This is so you don't have to walk from room to room to operate both devices.

Yes. I've done just this exact set-up for different areas of house and with multiple remotes operating same outlets. If need to change, reprogram each remote to "new" outlet. Love these things because of ease of use in reassigning outlets to specific remote numbers.

If you mean the DISH cable service no, its a standard tv remote for basica functions such as changing the channel, turning it off and on, ect. You need a different type of universal remote to operate a cable service. I also checked on the list of compatible tvs that the RM-EZ4 remote can be programmed for (it came inside the package with the remote) and there is no DISH on the menu so no I don't think it'll work for your needs. I did glance at a search and there are several popular brands for a replacement DISH remote

Your remote signals cannot be sent through the Sainsonic. If your TV is compatible with a UHF remote then you can use that for remotely changing the channels but the solution may be to purchase a UHF transmitter exclusively for the remote management. Good luck.

I use the harmony touch and it works well, did not try to use with cable company remote.

I am able to. I have a different cable company but I don't think it matters. The cable channels come in via the digital tuner and it's my TV remote that I use to watch another channel. Does your TV remote have an input button? So that while AV is recording you can switch to TV mode and watch another program? If you are using a cable box that might be the issue.

Yeah they change the channel.Do different things depending on application too

No, will not work, TV is no different from your home TV, has no way of knowing what input has to have a switch you must press to change or remote (if TV has two video inputs). Sorry

You have to watch the same cable channel. Basically you are controlling your cable box at a distance.

This remote is designed to power on/off all brands of TV's, control volume, change channels. I do not believe it will work any cable boxes. So Yes it will still work your TV no mater where your cable comes from but you will need a separate remote to work your cable box.

Take the remote from the main TV to the other room to change channels on the TV. No need to go back and forth.

I can't. I tried to program my at&T; cable remote, unsuccessfully. Never tried the TV remote-I have a Ocosmo Tv matched to the sound bar, but since I control the channels with the cable remote, I never tried. You can try your TV remote if it has a program mode for audio. Seems like no matter what you end up with more than one remote. Good luck.

Most likely this would work. This will allow your tivo to change the channels on your cable box, using the tivo remote.

not sure. I don't have a cable box. You can find out by looking again at this product information.. This wasn't my answer to help my husbands confusion in working the remote.

If your cable box supports HDMI, yes. But you'd be better off getting an actual TV which features switchable inputs and channels.

Each can be programmed for any function performed by another device remote (not just your TV remote). I use Option 1 for channel up/ Option 2 for channel down on my cable box. Follow the instruction manual and remember - the ends of the remotes must face each other to transfer the function code.

We use it to control the TV that is connected to a digital antenna. It works fine for that. Not sure if it would work in your set up. If you currently change channels by adjusting the TV -- not the cable box -- then it would probably work. If you have to adjust the cable box to change channels then it might not work. The product page on amazon says: "- Note: The Tek Pal Remote will work if the cable is directly connected into the TV."
